Peabo Bryson - My Life Lyrics
Here's a little something for those of us
Who grew up the hard way
Southern nights, good Baptist ministers
Singin' on the village green
Street corners at night
'Cause this is my life
Did you ever have to sleep in the cold, cold
In a three-room shack with one woodstove, mmm...
Do you know what it's like to sleep in your clothes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Inner city blues, you got me payin' some dues, yeah
Hey, sister, stand beside me
I need your love strength and courage to guide me
Throwin' your life away tryin' to party
Hey-hey-hey
Genocide is closin' in on man
Humanity is dying
Poverty, starvation, people
The children cry, cry
Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah
Bill collectors knocking, mama got hide, yeah, yeah
Just yesterday morning, she got fired, oh, no, no
Nobody knows the pain she feels inside, oh, no, no
Inner city blues, you got me payin' some dues, yeah
Hey, sister, stand beside me
I need your love strength and courage to guide me
Foolish junkies got you nodding
Throwin' your life away tryin' to party
Genocide is closin' in on man
Humanity is dying
Poverty, starvation, people
This is my life, this is my life
Living for those lonely Southern nights, yeah
Poverty, starvation, people
This is my life, this is my life
Learning how to love and still survive
Poverty, starvation, people
The children cry, children cry
Time ain't gonna change it, well
Talk about poverty, starvation, people
This is my life, this is my life
Try to keep my head up on the sky, sky...

Peabo Bryson My Life Comments
Just listening to this song reminds of me growing up in the 60's, parents doing their best to keep things afloat, but in spite of those struggles, we never went without food, clothes, or shelter, Peabo gives this song that down home southern feel, that I miss about those old days, and that's the closeness of families, such a bond"
Thanks for posting this. This was one of my mother's favorite songs. :-)
i also never heard of this song.. i like it,...
